How to Configure Sandwich policy for No attendance penalties?

Introduction

The Sandwich Policy applies when an employee’s leave is adjacent to a week off or holiday, meaning the week off or holiday will also be treated as part of the leave. Additionally, you can configure No Attendance Penalization for instances when there’s no attendance on a date adjoining a holiday or week off.

This guide will show you how to configure both of these policies in Keka.
